    Just make a tofu scrambler, they're very good.

    If you don't have a recipe, Fantastic Foods makes a tofu scrambler mix that comes in a box. You can buy it online for $1.99, and I've seen it in plenty of stores.

    I think thats very funny. Fritz D'Embrio indeed! If you look at the actual press release it does say its embargoed until April 1st, of course, seeing that now...

    Anyone fancy writing a 'shocked and hurt' letter to Redwood?

    I wouldn't want it anyway as I can't stomach anything fake-egg style after eating real eggs made me so ill.

    Scrambled eggs taste nothing like fried eggs, sorry. I miss the running yolk and dipping my toast into it.

    I got a depressed a couple of weeks ago and nearly went veggie (Didnt dare tell FR). I bought a quiche (which was my favourite thing), cooked it, went to serve it with jacket spud, hummous and salad. I had cooked the quiche. The smell of the eggs in the quiche made me gag - it was absolutely horrible and I couldnt eat it. I threw it in the bin and went back to my old vegan ways (aahhhh).

    Well for me that's a good thing since I think eggs are absolutely disgusting. I never liked them, even when I was an animal corpse eater. Scrambled tofu doesn't taste like scrambled eggs, it just looks like them.

    Hmmm, have to admit that scrambled eggs is one of the few things I miss about being vegan cos there's not really a convincing alternative. Scrambled eggs on toast was my absolute favourite brekky when I was a kid (when life was much simpler!) and one of my favourite student snacks was cheesy scrambled eggs..

    Come to think of it, I can't really think of anything more artery clogging than cheesy scrambled eggs so I've probably considerably extended my life expectancy.

    Going back to veggie is NOT an option.

    And that's your opinion. My opinion is that I like(d) the taste of eggs. I never liked scrambled eggs and I don't like scrambled tofu. So offering to me as an alternative to fried eggs isn't going to work.

    At the end of the day we all presumably liked what we ate before we went vegan - otherwise we wouldn't have eaten it presumably.

    I do miss fried egg sandwiches amongst other things - but I can certainly cope without them.

    I was looking after a couple of rescued hens a while back and tried an egg but it made me feel quite queasy so, after that, I gave them to my dogs.

    Only $1.99? Wow, this costs £3 in Veganstore UK ($5.20) so I gave it a miss this time. Its not fair, nice things are too expensive in rip off Britain

    Should be straightforward enough to make from scratch. Should be healthier and cheaper, too.

    It comes with 2 packets. Each packet mixes with a package of tofu. You can certainly stretch it with extra veggies added.

    I used to use this but recently just started using my own spices. Cheaper, and I don't get any added salt!

    I just sautee onions in a pan, add some other veggies (I like mushrooms, red peppers, brocolli), then I add the tofu, some tumeric and some fresh scrapped ginger. I added a bit of fresh basil at the end.

    Check out the spices in the ingredients to see and you may have them laying around! It is mainly tumeric for color, and dehydrated onion, peppers, garlic for taste. I think there are other spices, but choose what you like. They have a lot of salt too, it always left me very thirsty.

    I have to admit, tofu scramble does not really taste like scrambled eggs. But it is a good replacement when you want something savory with protein for breakfast.

    I was never a fan of eggs (agree with FR on this one I am afraid), but I love tofu scramble.

    We never had eggs in our house as veggies anyway, the only time we purchased them was for baking cookies/cakes. And then, I always had to wash everything down, risk solmonella from eating raw batter, etc. Egg replacer is much more convienent, IMO.

    The thing I miss most regarding eggs, is being able to randomly eat any cookie I find laying around the office! Probably not a bad thing really...

    I remember the Vegan Society doing a 'vegan egg' April Fool a couple of years ago. They said something along the lines of 'our eggs make a cracking omelette' etc.

    Pretty funny at the time I thought :.

    Well said Rob. I made a fantastic vegan quiche last week, using tofu blended with onion, garlic and a few herbs, spices and with vegan cheese added to the mixture before cooking. I also decorated it with sliced tomatoes.

    It tasted great, even my omni parents said it was just as good as a dairy quiche.
